The Terminal 2 Baggage Programme (T2BP) at Heathrow aims to replace the aging T2 baggage system linked to Terminal 1. The new solution will be implemented in five phases across 21 construction projects, grouped by physical and operational attributes. A major challenge was managing design risks through different organizations and suppliers that interface at key areas in a live operational environment. The manual Excel processes used to record design risks led to difficulties in maintaining a single source of truth, causing duplication and errors. The goal was to find a streamlined, digital solution to standardize processes and enable monitoring and reporting through dashboards. After researching data environments, Construction Cloud was chosen for its suitability to manage design risk information, requiring customization through trial and feedback. The solution also provided integration with augmented reality (AR) for live inspections.

This session will focus on exploring the 4D scheduling collaboration process, from source models in Revit and Civil 3D software, to creating data-driven animations in SYNCHRO 4D and photorealistic experiences inside Unreal Engine. By bringing model and schedule together, week after week, our team has refined the models and schedule. Together, we reviewed the schedule, asked meaningful questions of it, and corrected any errors we found along the way. This class will use the case study of the Ontario Line Technical Advisory megaproject (CA $10.9 billion) and share the novel workflows that were adopted for establishing a seamless, dynamic, cloud-based connection and 3D coordination across multiple design platforms. We will demonstrate how these teams worked together to define innovative workflows for enriching transportation design models with the time dimension to perform constructability review and construction planning in interactive and immersive 4D models.

This session will present an integrated digital workflow that creates alternatives by automatically reviewing the risk of traffic accidents, earthwork volume, and design standards using a digital design model of roads when performing linear improvement on roads with high volumes of traffic accidents. This technology implemented the digital design procedure of the road with Dynamo and Python, based on Civil 3D software. In addition, the traffic accident risk index of the road section was reflected in the algorithm. In particular, the road design standards were digitized based on XML and reflected as evaluation models in creating alternatives. Through this process, the digital alignment of the road that minimizes the occurrence of traffic accidents is optimized within Civil 3D, and a digital road model is created that presents multiple alternatives by collectively reviewing the calculation of earthworks and whether the road design standards are satisfied.

New manufacturing techniques and innovative materials are making us rethink infrastructure creation, but they've also raised a need for closer structural health monitoring. Autodesk Research collaborated with MX3D to create the world's first 3D-printed steel bridge, and then with Dar Al-Handasah to 3D print a series of bridges from sustainable (recycled and recyclable) material. We drove the effort to add "smarts” to both bridges via sensor networks that capture data about their use. The bridges were modeled as digital twins using innovative visualization technology that has been integrated into Autodesk Platform Services and Autodesk Tandem software. These twins visualize the stress on the bridges' structures as people walk across them. Given the popularity of the 5-meter Dar bridge exhibited at Autodesk University 2022 in New Orleans, we wanted to show more details of our work on these iconic projects, and how they might influence the future of smart and sustainable infrastructure.

This session will focus on the concept of "design by availability" as a strategy to reduce carbon emissions. The study analyzes the reuse supply chain and market for projects in California. It uses data visualization to highlight the amount of wasted materials and the carbon impact of disposal. The goal was to create a better workflow to identify reusable materials and integrate this data into design software in order to promote circularity—minimizing waste while encouraging the use of renewable, recyclable resources. The study proposes to embed architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) design technology tools into the process, enabling material inventories to provide early evaluations of a project's environmental impact. Additionally, automation workflows can inform the degree to which design solutions can minimize extraction and waste in favor of sustainable materials, opening up the possibility for expanding professional services.
